Pros

Free snacks, all the good ones are leaving

Cons

HR will tell you that they are neutral, but beware they are not, if you go to them and talk about the unethical issues or job issues you might end up getting fired. Communication is non-existent, manager plays favorites, and the accounting team is a mess. They are rapidly sinking with their best employees leaving. Corporate is a problem, but honestly, the culture is the worse I have ever seen.

Pros

The company lingo is amusing. 80/20, 90/10, 30/30.

Cons

Solera uses debt to buy companies in their field (automotive) and then fails to integrate them, because the management is awful. They don't have benefits. Raises are rare, bonuses are unachievable, healthcare benefits suck, there is no long term incentive to stay with the company. Management prefers "all hands fire drills" every once in a while, rather than consistent, long-term planning. Employee morale is abysmal, perhaps due in part to company mottos like "we hate our software" (seriously, they think this makes employees want to work harder). I've never interacted with a company that's run worse.

Pros

Good pay, they have to given the atrocious reviews that you can see here, free lunches, free drinks, offsite fitness facility.

Cons

Management lacks any discernible direction, unmitigated disaster of a company to work for. Ridiculous demands on your time, work-life balance is an impossibility. No processes, no structure, just fly by the seat of your pants and we will call it agile. Buyer beware, you can find better opportunities.
